“Always do what is right. It will
gratify half of mankind & astound the other.”
It is rightly said that – Man is an
amalgam of virtues and vices. He is the supreme creation of God who created man
in his own image. With the advancement mankind has undergone drastic changes.
It is very much hard to compare the present generation with our past legends
who were uncomparable and unmatchable in
all respects. Everybody knows that our history is quite glorious in the past as
they were social, honest, generous, obedient, committed and they all have left behind
their footprints to be followed by the young generation. Unfortunately, the
world has progressed in the field of science and technology but the moral
values have degenerated.
The present generation has lost the
moral values and become materialistic. They want only money and success, relationships
have no values for them. They can commit crime at the drop of hat. This all is
because of various reasons. Undoubtedly the main reason is media which gives a
lot of information and fails to provide the right way to use it.
It is not easy to inculcate the old
pattern, culture in the mind of generation X, while our old teachings are still
having a peculiar space in day-to –day human life. The whole world is following
our old traditions and culture and adopting very speedily and finding their
ways of life. It is a matter of surprise that our gen X is changing their life
style very rapidly and westernizing themselves. In the current scenario gen X
is not much interested to bear and keep alive our logical and fruitful
traditions where they can surely find mental peace as well as easy going life.
It is being observed regularly that
the moral values are losing their impact and significance in the life of gen X,
respect for others, ethics and etiquettes have become the things of past. The
nuclear family structure is adversely affecting the society as well as reducing
the volume of positive thoughts towards the old traditions of our society &
golden history.
We can easily observe the
frequently changing behavior of new brigade in their daily pattern of life. Modern
era is characterized by a lot of frustration and disappointment due to not
being able to achieve the desired goal. A race to reach at the top and to
please others always create a cloud of negativity, resulting in loss of peace
of mind. Everybody is racing for their own achievements and wants to entertain
in short span of time resulting in selfishness and even not care for others.
Inculcation of moral values since
birth is very necessary. The time of our breeding likewise, so that they can
understand the importance of these values and carry them further to their next
breeding to make their future peaceful, bright and path making for others.
Keeping
in view, the importance of moral values, the time has come to introduce a
subject on importance of moral values in school curriculum which will help in
preparing our PROCREATION. This will definitely help the upliftment of mankind and a better world.About the Author:
